Survivor Tells of
Alaska’s Big Murder
Fuller Details of the Horrible Butch
erry on the White Pass
♦
Railroad.
SKAGWAY—The story of yester
day's quadruple tragedy at White
norse was being talked of in hushed
voice and tones of horror by almost
everyone in bkagway last evening
when the details of tho horrible oc
currence w'ere published in the Daily
Alaskan and circulated among its
readers, although long before its ap
pearance a general idea of what had
taken place was public property.
Up to 9 o'clock this morning Arthur
vVilkins, the only survivor of the sec
tion crew' of live men, was in such a
nervous condition from his awful ex
perience of the day before that he
was unable to give a coherent state
ment, but along toward noon he had
recovered sufficiently to tell the fol
lowing story:
In conversation with Editor White
of the Star last night ho said/* We, 5
us were sitting and others standing
around the hand car where we had
eaten. I heard someone say, ‘Here
comes Alex/ I looked around and
Gagoff was coming down the hill
from the opposite side of the track.
He walked toward us and just as he
stepped on the track ho fired. Real
izing that he was shooting to kill, we
all started to run and he continued
shooting. I concealed myself in the
brush below the track as quickly as
possible and did not see the others ?
fall. I do not think the first shot
struck anyone. I do not know how
many shots were fired, but there
were several. After a while I went'
back and found the men lying dead.
| I saw a man coming and went toward
! him with a club, thinking it was
1 Gagoff coming back, but it was
1 Leslie.
Later Details
From later acounts of the tragedy;
| just furnished us through the kind
ness of the officials of the W. P. & Y.
R., we are enabled to supply the fol
lowing, which would seem to clearly
prove that the entire affair was a cold
| blooded and deliberately planned
murder, probably for some fancied
grievance while the murderer was
employed on the section:
The men had stopped for lunch on
the curved hill north of Ear lake,
where the descent is a little deeper to
the lake on the west than it is on the
opposite, or river side, of the track
toward the east, and close to a cut
for a sidetrack which joins the main
line there. They had built a small
lire and from Wilkins account had
just finished their lunch, when the
murderous assault was made. It is
probable that Cook was the first man
shot as the bodies of all the others
were found at some distance, from
the camp, as though they had made a
desperate effort to save their lives by
flight.
The body of Kinslow was about 200
feet south from where the men had
eaten their lunch and 100 feet to the
east of the railroad track on an old
M. J. Hency construction road. There
were several bullet holes in the body,
one of which was in his head and was
doubtless the cause of his death. He
had a handkerchief tied around one
of his legs where he had been wound
ed near the knee, and it is evident
from all the circumstances that
Gogaff had followed him up after
finishing his companions and finding
him hiding behind a clump of bushes
had deliberately completed his work.
Cook was found close to the fire
with his head lying on a railroad tie,
and when he heard the handcar com
ing held up his hand, as a signal that
he was alive.
Bokonich, the Austrian, had gotten
about fifty feet from the camp and
part way up the west bank of the
cut of the sidetrack, when he was
brought down.
George Lane was fifty feet away |
on the river side of the track, and
in addition to having the top of his
head blown off had a wound in one of
his legs.
After killing the men Gogaff must
have examined each body, for ir. his
statement at the \V. P. & Y. R. offices
yesterday he told his hearers where
he had hit each of his victims with
his rifio.—Alaskan.
